Description

I received a call about a remote job offer, she said she got my information from Indeed. The job was to inspect packages, and ship them overseas. After the phone call I did some research and apparently it's a packmule scam. I received 2 emails, one with a PDF containing a job contract, and the other a video describing the job. I would be happy to provide those as well if it would be helpful at all.
